Yes, we partner with some of the best fabric mills in the world to bring you a variety of fabrics that fit every budget. If we don’t have a particular fabric in store, we can most likely source it for you. Our premium fabrics range from $695 to $2200 for a two-piece custom suit.

We have a long-standing relationship with our master tailors and are constantly looking for ways to leverage technology to reduce cost and improve quality. Our measurement process starts by collecting a variety of body measurements. We then measure body posture such as shoulder slope, arm rotation, back curvature etc. Lastly, we discuss your style and fit preference, so you get the suit you envision. All this data is then used to create a unique pattern that is specific to you. Once the pattern is done, it is then transferred to your fabric where it is laser cut for precision. After all the fabric is cut, it is then hand assembled by our team of master tailors. Once the garment is complete, it is then put through a rigorous quality assurance process to ensure measurements are correct and the quality is up to our standards.

At The Grotto we value the experience just as much as the quality of our suits. We have found that in order to avoid stress for the Bride and Groom, about 3 months is needed. We aim to have all our suits back to the wedding party at least 30 days prior to the wedding date.

Most weddings usually have a couple of guys or gals that cannot make it to the group fitting and that is ok. We have a remote measurement process that is easy and efficient. Please see our alterations policy section related to alteration cost reimbursement for remote groomsman.
